Environmental Datasets

ENV Dataset Station Locations
Environmental Dataset Monitoring Station Locations and GGR112 Walking Route

The Environmental Datasets represent measurements taken in 3 distinct environmental settings at the University of Toronto Mississauga campus. The data are separated into pond, field and forest data. Data are collected at these sites using HOBO U30 data loggers equipped with sensors monitoring soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature and relative humidity. Data are collected hourly and downloaded monthly.

Description

excel_datetime_code Data type: Float | The Excel date and time code corresponding to the recorded measurement. Format this is as a date or time in Excel or use as an arbitrary timescale in other software packages.
excel_day Data type: Integer | The Excel code corresponding to the day of observation, format as a date in Excel or convert to other formats for use in other packages.
excel_time Data type: Float | The Excel code corresponding to the time of observation (in EST).
field_soil_temp_c Data type: Float | Soil temperature at the field site in degrees Celcius from a sensor buried 30cm below the surface.
field_air_temp_c Data type: Float | Air temperature at the field site in degrees Celcius.
field_rh Data type: Float | Relative humidity in (%) at the field site.
field_soil_wc Data type: Float | Soil water content in m3/m3 recorded at the field site by a sensor 30cm below the soil surface.
forest_soil_temp_c Data type: Float | Soil temperature at the forest site in degrees Celcius from a sensor buried 30cm below the surface.
forest_air_temp_c Data type: Float | Air temperature at the forest site in degrees Celcius.
forest_rh Data type: Float | Relative humidity in (%) at the forest site.
forest_soil_wc Data type: Float | Soil water content in m3/m3 recorded at the forest site by a sensor 30cm below the soil surface.
pond_soil_temp_c Data type: Float | Soil temperature at the pond site in degrees Celcius from a sensor buried 30cm below the surface.
pond_air_temp_c Data type: Float | Air temperature at the pond site in degrees Celcius.
pond_rh Data type: Float | Relative humidity in (%) at the pond site.
pond_soil_wc

Data type: Float | Soil water content in m3/m3 recorded at the pond site by a sensor 30cm below the soil surface.

 NOTE: To convert Solar data in millivolts to Watts/m2, multiply by 93.63. Negative values should be considered zero.
